As new to the region - it is advisable to look into Aalborg, even though you will have some competition of getting a flat in the center of the city. Choosing Aalborg gives you benefits of easier access to a social life and a connection to the locals and other expats compared to smaller cities in the region.

According to expatistan A 3 rooms flat of 85m2 in a normal area in Aalborg costs in average around 724 Euro pr. month.

Different areas in the city


In North Denmark you can live either south or north of the Fjord. Aalborg is south of the Fjord, but if you cross the bridge to Nørresundby area, which also belongs to Aalborg Municipality, you will find much cheaper housing and its only 1 km to the center of Aalborg. Aalborg is divided into a west, east and the center. The center of the city includes the harbour area, which is more pricy, the pub street, cafees and shopping street. The eastern part comprises the university area and some ethnics hoods, while the western part is more relaxed residental area with a football stadium, swimming facilities and a bridge towards Nørresundby.

Web sites


Private rent out of rooms/rentals within the average price level can for instance be found on boligsurf.dk, findaroommate.dk or on local groups on facebook. There are other sites and apps for buying and selling like dba.dk, but the site is in Danish. It can be hard to know which site to trust. In general, it is advisable not to believe an offer, which is extremely cheap and looks like a scam.
